Yup Eric..from is a keyword..a different name can be used here.

‘from’ is a python keyword. The function above should probably be refactored so that ‘from’ is not the name of a parameter.

Took me awhile to figure out, but line 22 can be modified to send HTML emails.

message.attach(MIMEText(text, ‘html’))

I came to this page while looking for a drop-in replacement for sendmail to use with mutt. I ended up writing this:

Posting it here for others who are looking for the same thing. It can also augment the above script with more automated transport mechanism.

@Christopher Thanks for the correction. I must have messed it up when posting. I have corrected this for future use.

Looks like there’s a missing comma between ‘files’ and ‘cc’ in the function argument list.

But a part from this, thank you for the code! very helpful!!
